People magazine, citing Swift's representative, said Swift
had written "This is What You Came For," which Harris released
as a collaboration with R&B singer Rihanna in April.
The magazine reported that Swift had written the song under the
pseudonym 'Nils Sjoberg' while the couple were dating, and that
Swift became upset over an interview in which Harris said he did
not think he would work with her in the future.
Representatives for Swift did not respond to Reuters for
comment.
"Hurtful to me at this point that her and her team would go so
far out of their way to try and make ME look bad at this stage
though," Harris said, in a series of tweets directed at Swift.
Harris praised Swift's lyric-writing talents and said she had
wanted to keep their collaboration secret.
Swift, 26, and Harris, 32, split up last month after dating for
more than a year. Swift, who was named 2016's highest-earning
celebrity by Forbes magazine this week, has recently been
photographed with British actor Tom Hiddleston.
Harris also hinted at a long-speculated feud between Swift and
pop star Katy Perry, saying "I know you're off tour and you need
someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC but I'm not that guy,
sorry. I won't allow it."
Representatives for Perry did not respond for comment.
